Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stunned Republican senators on Wednesday when he refused to answer their questions about the COVID-19 pandemic by invoking his Fifth Amendment right at the start of a congressional hearing.<\/p>\n

Unlike other instances of witnesses taking the Fifth, however, that wasn\u2019t the end of the hearing, as GOP and Democratic members of the Senate Homeland Security Committee continued quizzing Fauci for under four hours.<\/p>\n

Republicans, led by Chairman Rand Paul (R-Ky.), demanded answers on the origins of the pandemic, inconsistencies related to his public remarks on COVID mandates versus his private comments and his support for funding for risky \u201cgain of function\u201d research abroad that can make viruses more infectious.<\/p>\n

Democrats used their time on the dais to reflect on the \u201cbiased\u201d nature of the proceedings, with Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and others calling out Paul for excluding them from preparations for the hearing and other investigative work by the committee\u2019s majority.<\/p>\n

At its conclusion, Paul announced that his committee would begin contempt of Congress proceedings against Fauci next week and questioned the validity of the sweeping pardon former President Joe Biden granted his former White House COVID czar in January 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Fauci isn\u2019t liable for anything as long as he tells the truth, even if he admits that he destroyed records on a routine basis,\u201d Paul suggested, adding that the ex-NIAID official \u201ccan\u2019t be prosecuted for many of the things that are outside the statute of limitations as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the five most shocking moments that occurred during Fauci\u2019s appearance:<\/p>\n

1. Fauci took the Fifth Amendment 111 times \u2014 including on CIA funding of his agency<\/h2>\n

Fauci took the Fifth at least 111 times to questions that would have teased out critical information about the origins of the COVID pandemic and US funding for gain-of-function research in China.<\/p>\n

In another startling example, Paul asked Fauci whether the CIA had ever funded NIAID \u2014 before the chairman revealed later in the hearing that he had obtained documents describing the interagency spending agreement.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Fauci dodged questions about his since-indicted, ex-senior adviser David Morens, who pleaded not guilty in May to concealing and destroying federal records \u2014 and whether he engaged in evasive record-keeping patterns by using a personal cell phone and email address to hide information.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur investigation reveals your assistant diligently reported that she deleted tons of emails in 2024. You testified that you did not delete federal records. Who\u2019s telling the truth?\u201d Paul asked at one point.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn February 2nd, 2020,\u201d he added, citing an email exchange, \u201cyou told Francis Collins, \u2018Please delete this email after you read it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Paul ejected Fauci\u2019s attorney from the hearing room<\/h2>\n

Paul had US Capitol Police escort Fauci\u2019s attorney, David Schertler, out of the hearing room following a tense exchange a little more than a half-hour into questioning.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if Schertler intended to read from a letter he sent to Paul last month, which was referenced later in the hearing by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) \u2014 but he repeatedly tried to interject only to be shouted down by the chairman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said my piece,\u201d Schertler told Paul. The attorney\u2019s letter noted many public statements by Paul threatening to jail Fauci.<\/p>\n

Paul lashed out: \u201cThis is the way Anthony Fauci wants to be remembered: For a lawyer not listening to the rules. That\u2019s the way you want to be remembered, and that\u2019s what you\u2019re going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWould you allow me to make a short statement?\u201d Schertler asked in response.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not recognized, sir,\u201d Paul said. \u201cSecurity, please remove him from the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schertler, a prominent defense attorney, has previously represented Joe Biden\u2019s doctor and ex-Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ).<\/p>\n

3. Republicans unloaded on Fauci for pandemic failures: \u2018Who the f\u2013k do you think you were?\u2019<\/h2>\n

Several Senate Republicans on the Homeland Security panel used their questioning time to tear into Fauci for pandemic policies that harmed Americans, closed in-person schooling \u2014 or in some cases led to their arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a mom in Ohio during the depth of the coronavirus pandemic, decided to go to our high school football game for her son. They hadn\u2019t been out much,\u201d Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) recounted. \u201cThey sat alone, far from everybody else \u2014 just a mom, a dad, a few kids. They didn\u2019t feel they needed to wear masks because it was stupid, because they were outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were dragged out of that stadium and arrested,\u201d Moreno fumed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen that story broke, I said to myself, I cannot stand idly on the side and watch this happen. It was about six years ago today that I decided I\u2019m going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate,\u201d he added. \u201cHere I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the f\u2013k do you think you were for doing that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) also drew attention to passages from Fauci\u2019s newly released NIAID diaries, which he acknowledged were authentic in his opening statement, that showed the public health official knew he had pushed for lockdowns \u2014 despite publicly denying he did.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018I spoke with Bill de Blasio, the mayor of NYC, and convinced him, based on what I was saying publicly and my conversation tonight to close the NYC schools, he had already decided, based on what I was saying on TV. I went on to tell him he should close the bars and restaurants in NYC, and he said he would do this based on my recommendation,’\u201d Moody quoted from the diary entry. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou even said that you told the president we should shut the whole country down,\u201d she added. \u201cDr. Fauci, how do you square telling the American people publicly that you didn\u2019t recommend locking anything down with your own diary entry, kept on federal government equipment, saying that your recommendation is what convinced the mayor and the president to lock things down.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Fauci enlisted his staff to solicit millions of dollars in prize money<\/h2>\n

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) accused Fauci of illegally using his staff to solicit prize money while serving as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were using federal employees, with taxpayer money, to apply for and solicit cash prizes for you personally \u2014 cash prizes totaling over $1 million,\u201d Hawley scolded Fauci.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides the Dan David Award, you\u2019ve got the Partnership for Public Service, you\u2019ve got the Adelson Prize, you\u2019ve got the Smithsonian Award, you\u2019ve got the National Academy of Medicine\u2019s award, you got the CDC Foundation,\u201d Hawley added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, you use eight separate federal employees, on federal time, using federal resources, to solicit cash awards. Isn\u2019t that true?\u201d asked Hawley.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Fauci declined to respond, citing his Fifth Amendment right.<\/p>\n

5. Sen. Joni Ernst exposed \u2018disgusting\u2019 research on aborted baby body parts<\/h2>\n

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has revealed that Fauci approved the use of \u201caborted baby body parts in mice research.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymus and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies,\u201d Ernst said. \u201cThey put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them \u2018BLT-L\u2019 mice, and wrote they had created a \u2018sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGet it folks? BLT, a BLT sandwich,\u201d Ernst emphasized. \u201cThankfully, the current NIH director has said no more of this. Dr. Fauci, yes or no? Do you think that human aborted parts should be put into mice for coronavirus research?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
